DEMO: Defensive Shooting Fundamentals
Defensive Handgun Shooting Fundamentals - Level 1
The Defensive Shooting Fundamentals (DSF) series is the foundation of armed self-defense firearms training. Level 1 focuses on enhancing your handgun fundamentals - whether you want to reliably put rounds downrange on target, or you're building skills for rapid acquisition and engagement of multiple targets from a real-world perspective.
From reasserting proper stance and grip to enhancing your current shooting technique, DSF 1 develops your skills so that:
- Your body works with your gun instead of against it.
- You learn which intuitive skills work best with your body's natural performance under stress.
- You walk away with the tools to practice these skills both on and off the range.
